One other thing, To learn how to do all this, you can get just the nano from anywhere .? I bought several of them form China off ebay for about $ 3 each.? While you will not have the display to look at, you should be able to play with it and see the programs load.

OK Ralph, I decided that I would learn how and reload the original software.? I have no idea what I am doing so I read a lot of web info and got the ch031 driver and the IDE loaded.? In the instructions it says to test driver by executing file, examples, basics and blink. I did and the little red led blinks with nothing on the display except the top line consists of full pixel squares.? This tells me IDE is working.? Problem is, I can¡¯t get it to stop and go back to radio software.? Did my test overwrite the uBitx software?
I still cannot find step by step instructions for installing software.? This is the first time I have even seen IDE. Learning, I hope!
Thanks, Al

Right off hand I would say the BFO is way off, probably on the wrong sideband so to speak.
It is usually around 11.996.700, some? where around around 11.996 something instead of 12.something.
It may pay you to load in the original software from the ubitx web page.? That should get you close to calibration.

Got uBitx set up a couple of weeks ago.? Audio quit, yes, I have the WX chip.? Getting audio from volume control via an external amp.? Made a couple of contacts but got terrible audio reports back.? I have calibration set correctly and get WWV on 10 and 15 MHz. Fine.? I cannot get BFO set.? Every time I think it is set, the station shows 1000 to 1200 cycles below the frequency of the actual station using a K3 as reference.? If I find a station on 7246 and set the dial on uBitx to 7246 and then set the BFO, I will find my station at 7244.8 or close.? I am following the procedure except the radio doesn¡¯t respond tp PTT when in set up mode.? When I press function switch in set BFO, the display reads 12,665 and when I set it where I want it the PTT does nothing so I press function again.? Is that the problem?? Any ideas?
